OK my computer is messed up, I think it's the PSU though? You think if I get a case, I could remove everything from my computer and install it in the new one?

I have a AMD Athlon 2400, 2x256MB RAM, DVD burner, cd burner, and Im taking all this out from my emachines t2482! Would it work or should I just buy a new PSU???

Well, what is the computer doing? Nothing? And you suspect the powersupply? Then moving it to a new case or a new psu may or may not fix your problem. I would first attempt trying it with a new powersupply, and just so you know, when a powersupply goes, it can take stuff with it( I.E. kill your hard drive)

if the hard drive works then it might not be the psu. its up to you if you want to get new parts, but i would just swap out parts with ones you have to be sure what the problem is. might take a while but it saves money.
